yes, the golden age of "dating apps" is long over. They are monetized to hell and back now. Most of the profiles are bots or scammers. The "real" ones are typically not great people. I'm not sure what your disability entails, but public spaces are where you will find genuine people.
If you absolutely insist on using dating apps, try Hinge.
Hey comrade-
Just seeing this now, sorry - life gets fast.
Still willing to talk about anything that might help you orient yourself for employment, etc.
If you can hit me with a quick (op-sec friendly, use DM) bio about yourself and your experience level along with some pointed questions about what you are struggling with now I will respond with advice on how to proceed.
We can talk about whatever you want. I specialize in IT but I can talk compsci a bit; I was going down that road for a minute - would love to save you some misery where I can.
My three step plan for you:
- Get a remote IT support job; lots of those and they should pay enough to make them worth the time.
- If you can't start at a company in your M.E. field initially as IT support, pivot to one once you've got your IT support claws sharpened.
- Either via networking within that company or some resume tomfoolery, pivot to a job in your field from that field-adjacent position.
Optional fourth step:
- Realize that you pine for a life at sea and enlist in the Merchant Marines for a somewhat alternative life where you don't have to pay rent anywhere for most of the year and you'll never need to think about a resume again.
Go to a Merkfolk concert
or generally find any sort of Slavic folk music. Slavic music is awesome.
Siemka means "hello" I think
Yes, Your Grace.
The name made me fearful that this game would be cringe. However, the trailer assured me that it would be awesome. It's very story-driven, and while the narrative is pretty set on rails/linear you do have "importance" of choices when it comes to resource management.
The game has a lot of great humor and music throughout. It even will K.O. punch you right in the feels.
The game also "respects your time" which is great these days...
Hopefully it's just a non-critical tooth that needs an extraction.
I think my tooth extraction was like $35 - obviously they'll take on some other fees but the process itself could be quickly fundraised.
The main problem is you might get mis-diagnosed a few times - especially if the professionals are trying to "save the tooth". I was about to get a full root canal when the endodontist finally discovered that the tooth was cracked all the way through the roots and required extraction. Dude, saved me a ton of time and money and that was after like 3 mis-diagnoses.
Sorry you are going through this, tooth pain is miserable.
It’s the failure of the Soviet education system. If we can characterize the Soviet people, it is that they are far too naive.
Eh. They were in a bad spot economically due to Saudi market manipulation at the behest of the west, a military defeat in Afghanistan, a space-race posturing/propaganda. They definitely could have held out longer but they were on the back-foot and were opting for a peaceful/graceful loss rather than forcing a military loss. This worked for the West also as they didn't want to involve their direct military which is why they extended a "peaceful" option for ending the cold war. The icing on the cake was Gorbachev was an intelligence asset (someone linked evidence for this here once, I lost the bookmark apparently; if he wasn't then he was the only truly naive Soviet citizen).
